I like to make Sangria’s from scratch at home especially while its warm. I found this great recipe at allrecipies.

Ingredients

1/2 cup brandy

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate

1/3 cup orange juice

1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry red wine

1/2 cup triple sec

1 lemon, sliced into rounds

1 orange, sliced into rounds

1 lime, sliced into rounds

1/4 cup white sugar (optional)

8 maraschino cherries

2 cups carbonated water (optional) or ginger ale if you want it sweeter

Directions

In a large pitcher or bowl, mix together the brandy, lemon juice, lemonade concentrate, orange juice, red wine, triple sec, and sugar. Float slices of lemon, orange and lime, and maraschino cherries in the mixture. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor. For a fizzy sangria, add club soda just before serving.

Don’t want to rain on the sangria parade (mmm…sangria) but this is what the American Cancer Society says about Kombucha:

“No human studies have been published in the available scientific literature that support any of the health claims made for Kombucha tea. There have, however, been reports of serious complications and death linked to the tea.”Source: http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/TreatmentsandSideEffects/ComplementaryandAlternativeMedicine/DietandNutrition/kombucha-tea

I just wanted to let you know that the complications and deaths associated with kombucha came from people drinking home brewed kombucha. Kombucha is a fermented drink made with a mother yeast that when not brewed in a sterile environment and not with the right equipment can cause for an unstable batch to be made. But batches of kombucha made by a company that is committed to making safe batches,such as GTS, is the best way to go for your kombucha fix. And, yes there have been no scientific studies to back up the claims of rejuvenation with drinking kombucha but I still enjoy drinking kombuch for the taste and probiotics. Remember wine, beer and liquor, are also fermented drinks. I believe any attacks on kombucha are unwarranted when the drinking of other fermented drinks are heavily advertised and at times(wine) are promoted by those in the health community.
Peace, Love,Kombucha
P.S. This is for you Tara you rained on my parade.lol.
